Host Arisa

$68.34 per guest

ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

We provide English language cooking experiences for visitors to Japan's culinary capital! Each class lasts 2 - 3 hours (starting at 11am and 5pm daily) in which you will learn about Osaka's food culture and make a full Japanese meal under the guidance of experienced local chefs. We will also provide you with enough information to recreate everything on our menu after you return home!

After the cooking finishes, we will all sit down, chat, and enjoy our culinary creations together over a glass of local sake or green tea. We really want to show the world how Osaka eats, this is a great way to discover the best street food to eat in Osaka!

ABOUT THEMENU

Osaka is famous for many things, including baseball, comedy and of course food. One of the things we love most about our home town though, are the amzing festivals, and especially all the great food you can find there!

In this course, we will teach you about festival food. We begin by showing you our special home made yakitori sauce, and then as the skewers of chicken and onion gently cook, we will teach you the traditional (and very surprising!) method for making udon noodles from scratch. The udon are served “Osaka style”, with fried tofu in a delicious soup. We finish with another festival favourite, chopstick okonomiyaki. This Osakan pancake is famous all over the country and comed filled with vegetables and herbs and topped with cheese, bonito flakes and our special okonomi bbq sauce!

ABOUT THELOCATION

Tucked away in a little alleyway in the famous Shin Sekai district of South Osaka, our classes take place in an old Japanese house that we (along with our husbands) renovated in the summer of 2014 to make way for our cooking school. We are really proud of our efforts and we think you are going to love what we have done with the place!

The kitchen dining area has Japanese style shoji sliding doors and homemade wooden counters and benches which are both comfortable and authentic. Our house can be a little difficult to find so we will come and meet you underneath the famous Tsutenkaku tower before we start. Take the JR line to Shin Imamiya station or the Subway to Doubutsuen-mae or Ebisucho stations, and just say Tsutenkaku to anybody, they will know!
